  1. Just got our RoyalUp email today, 59 days out. Not going to. Happy where we are in a Grand Suite. Don't feel it's worth any bid to upgrade. Lowest bid to upgrade to Star Class is $900 PP for the ATS 2 BR.
  2. We're on that cruise. Got ours for $50 in December.
  3. Agreed. Even if they cleared all the vegetation away, it would still be a pretty narrow beach. Doesn't look much wider than the ships in those pictures.
  4. Per Royal Caribbean's Royal Up site, "Your bid is priced per person and based on two guests per stateroom for the entire length of your cruise. So you only get charged for the first and second guests." Basically your bid X2, one time charge if accepted.
  5. Congrats on the new suite! Have a safe cruise.
  6. LOL. Didn't even realize/see that until you both mentioned it. But nothing to do with the World's Happiest Place. But we are Floridians, annual passholders for 3 years, and my wife has 6 different MagicBands to coordinate with her clothing for the day at the parks.?
  7. Bayside Marketplace is a nice afternoon.
  8. Nothing wrong with AOL email. We still have ours, over 20 years now. Another non-creative name here. Wife's and mine initials and our anniversary date, Dec. 4.
  9. Partial statement from the attorney: He added that the family wants to “turn their focus to mourning Chloe and fighting for cruise passenger safety by raising awareness about the need for all common carriers to adhere to window fall prevention laws designed to protect children from falling from windows.” Children only fall from windows when held out of them, which appears what Grandpa did.
  10. It looks like you've covered pretty much the essentials: Food, drinks, things to do. As long as you're not buying everything you see in the ship's shops or spending time in the casino you shouldn't have a big bill at the end of your cruise. Just plan on some spending money for port shopping and you should be fine.
  11. Agreed. Has happened to us before. We got a letter in our cabin showing the new date/time and that our reservation was still good.
  12. At the port. So convenient if you're willing to pay.
  13. This is Oasis post amplification November 2019. Still looks white.
  14. Driver’s licenses or other state photo identity cards issued by Department of Motor Vehicles that are REAL ID compliant* *REAL ID compliant cards are marked with a star at the top of the card. If you’re not sure, contact your state driver’s license agency on how to obtain a REAL ID compliant card. Based on this map, most all states DMV's should already be issuing compliant driver's licenses.
  15. Agree with @dodgestang. Why fake 2 extra passengers? Cabin may be for 4 people, but I think that just means max capacity. Not that you have to have that many to book the cabin. As far as the drink package. All adults must get it if one gets it. But call RC Customer Service. They can help with an exception to policy.
  16. If remembered correctly, think there's a Blue Mountain Coffe store within the port shopping area. If not, there was definitely multiple shops selling it. All comparably priced.
  17. It's your SeaPass card on your wrist. Like a Disney MagicBand. This explains more. What are Royal Caribbean WOW Bands? In addition to Royal Caribbean’s traditional SeaPass cards, select Royal Caribbean ships* also feature WOW Bands. These ready‑to‑wear, water-resistant wristbands require just one tap, so you can quickly and efficiently navigate the ship. WOW Bands come equipped with RFID chips that enable guests to: Unlock stateroom doors Make purchases at bars, onboard shops, and lounges Access lounges (Suite guests and Crown & Anchor members) Guests who wish to use a WOW Band in place of their SeaPass card may purchase one onboard for $4.99**. Guests in Grand Suites and above (Golden Suites & Royal Premiere for Spectrum of the Seas and Quantum of the Seas) will continue to receive the WOW Bands in their staterooms at no charge. WOW Bands are not reusable and are unique to each sailing. For departure and boarding the ship in ports, guests will need a SeaPass card. * Wow Bands are only available on Symphony of the Seas®, Harmony of the Seas®, Ovation of the Seas®, Anthem of the Seas®, Quantum of the Seas®, and Spectrum of the Seas®. ** Port taxes will be applied. Purchase price is subject to change without notice.
  18. Good choice. It's worth the cost. You won't regret it. And watch out for state troopers on Alligator Alley.
  19. Have you looked into parking at the port parking garage?
  20. From @Matt a few months ago. Hope this helps. Photo tour of the beach cabanas at Nellie's Beach on Labadee IN: Labadee By: Matt Hochberg At Royal Caribbean's private destination of Labadee, guests can reserve a cabana at Nellie's Beach to enjoy a secluded beach experience. The cabanas have become very popular with guests, and we had the chance to try the beach cabanas on a recent visit. There are two types of cabanas available: over the water and beach cabanas. In the past, we have rented the over the water cabanas, but wanted to try the beach cabanas. The beach cabanas are recessed at the rear of the beach, in a secluded area. Beach cabanas cost $395 (for up to six guests). Unlike the beach cabanas at the suite-only Barefoot Beach, the beach cabanas at Nellie's Beach are located in a private area, separated by a short wall. There are two sub-types of beach cabanas: regular and handicap accessible. The handicap accessible cabanas feature a ramp instead of stairs that lead to the cabana. All the Labadee cabanas are equipped with two lounge chairs and a large seating area inside the cabana that features a fan and electric outlets. Cabana guest also get to enjoy complimentary bottles of water (in a cooler), two floating beach mats, snorkeling gear and towels. A cabana attendant is also assigned to you, who can assist you with any requests you may have. Part of the reason we booked the beach cabanas instead of the over the water cabanas is because the over the water cabanas have a private staircase leading to the water, which is a bit too steep for my young children to navigate. The beach cabanas lead to the ocean via the beach, which was very easy for the kids. Cabana guests at Nellie's Beach also have access to private golf cart transportation. Simply indicate to your cabana attendant that you would like to go somewhere (back to the ship, to the buffet, shore excursions, etc) and a golf cart will be brought to your cabana for your comfort and then you will be driven to your destination. In short, we really enjoyed the beach cabanas at Nellie's Beach. The over the water cabanas offer arguably a better view, but the beach cabanas still provide privacy and come in $100 cheaper. For families that want a private beach experience, the beach cabanas at Nellie's Beach are a great choice. 99 Other Posts You May Enjoy: Barefoot Beach Cabanas on Royal Caribbean's Labadee Nellie's Beach Cabanas on Royal Caribbean's Labadee
  21. Agree with @WAAAYTOOO, and don't think she's got her cruise lines mixed up. Been on multiple RC cruises. Never had/seen a time limit between drinks. At some bars, after getting my beer, I'm done before my wife gets her drink and I've been able to get second one right then, card scanned, no charge. And are you saying you use his card to get drinks for yourself and vice versa? Or are one of you using both cards at the same time to get drinks for both of you?
  22. I think that product is ok. They don't allow extension cord type power strips. But I'm sure you'll get many responses to your question and suggestions for other types to use.
